If our gospel does not free the individual up for a unique life of spiritual adventure in living with God daily, we simply have not entered fully into the good news that Jesus brought.
Dallas Willard
Image
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
Image
It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.
Dallas Willard
Image
At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.
Dallas Willard
Image
Grace is opposed to earning, but not to effort.
